Strengths

- “They know that staff care about them as individuals.”

To improve
- “In 2023, pupils’ attainment in reading, writing and mathematics at the end of Year 6 was below the national average.”
- “Weaknesses in the previous curriculum and the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic explain why these pupils were not as well prepared for secondary school as they should have been.”
- “However, there are some subjects that have not been as well thought through.”
